  Mr. STIVERS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the public service 
career of Robert Lanthorn. Robert is a teacher of American History, 
American Government, Economics, and Advanced Placement United States 
Government and Politics. Robert has served as an educator at Hamilton 
Township High School for the past five years.
  Robert is being honored as The Educator of the Year by Kids Voting 
USA. The Educator of the Year award is a national award presented to a 
teacher who motivates their students to be civically active both 
through teaching and example.
  Robert has used innovative teaching methods and gained the trust of 
his students keeping them engaged and interested in learning. His 
outstanding teaching methods have earned him many awards throughout his 
teaching career. Robert has been named Kids Voting Educator of the 
Month, Ohio Lottery's Teacher of the Month, and Ohio's Outstanding 
Teacher of American History by Ohio State Society Daughters of the 
American Revolution.
  Robert's desire to motivate his students to not only learn but also 
engage in civics has had a positive effect on his students and the 
community alike. His students have participated in the political 
process and an amazing 83 percent of students participated in Hamilton 
Township High School's mock election.
  Robert has inspired many students to become involved in their 
community and instilled life lessons of civic responsibility. I thank 
Robert for all that he has done to serve our community and educate our 
youth and congratulate him on being named Educator of the Year.
